23、social lives and part-time jobs keep teenagers(青少年) busy from early in the morning until late at night. They are likely to try to make up for a lack of sleep by “sleeping in“ on the weekends. Unfortunately, this causes irregular sleep and actually makes the problem worse. Most teenagers are not able
24、 to fall asleep until late at night. Since many teens aren t sleepy until around 11 p. m., but need to be at school by 7: 30 or 8: 00 a. m., they cannot get enough sleep. During puberty(青春期), the biological clock in the brain naturally re-sets to a later time, and this causes teens to fall asleep la
25、ter. Then, when it s time to get up, a teen s body clock is likely to still be producing the night-time hormones (荷尔蒙). This makes it hard for them to feel active and energetic in the morning. A growing body of research suggests that starting high school later improves attendance, achievements and g
26、rades. A few years ago in an important study, test scores on the SAT college entrance exams in Edina, Minnesota jumped more than 100 points on average, when the morning school bell rang an hour later.

29、our child right from the startthe younger the better! With little ones (children from birth to 4) it is very important to read and reread books. Starting early makes the job of the listener (for you will be teaching your child how to listen) easier, as it helps to develop an early love of the writte
30、n and spoken word. We believe that you should read aloud to your child at least once every day. Set a special reading time during the day or evening when you can settle down and enjoy a book, without interruption. For most families, reading aloud at bedtime is a common practice. We understand that i
31、t can be quite discouraging to read to a child who takes no interest. Take heart! Learning to listen takes experience. The more you read, the more your child will learn to sit for a story. Children have a natural development of responses(反应) to your reading. By the time your child reaches 6- 7 month
32、s, s/he is attracted by the book in your hand, and would like to test it out by using it as a chew(咀嚼) toy. This is natural! By one year, your child is learning to listen and talk about the pages, often shouting out things s/he recognizes. Encourage this! And at the onset(起始) of walking, you have yo
33、ur biggest challenge yet. Your child is always on the go. You need to set your reading time for a time in the day when your child is preparing to settle down. This means bedtime.

36、iver of a surprise $18 million gift from Gladys Holm. She once was a secretary who never earned more than $15,000 a year and never married. She lived alone in a small flat in Chicago, and was a volunteer at the Childrens Hospital. She was called the “Teddy Bear Lady“ because she brought toy animals
37、to sick children on her regular visits. But Miss Holm, who died in 1996 at the age of 86, was also a long-time buyer of stocks(股票). Over the years, she saved money that rose up to $18 million, which she left to the Childrens Hospital. It was the largest single donation in the hospitals 115-year hist
38、ory. The hospital president, Jan Jennings, was shocked when she heard the news. “When Miss Holms lawyer called to tell me how much that money was, I asked him to repeat it, since I was certain I had misheard.“ Why did Gladys Holm feel so strongly about the Childrens Hospital? Jennings said the hospi

43、are few people who draw up life goals. Most people want to take one step at a time, and are frightened when they have to set life goals. 1 They can t be more wrong. Life goals are only a road map. They record what you want to be at the end of your life. 2 Others may want to be known as great builder
44、s or great sportspeople. In fact, there is no end to what you may want to be. However, the only way you can achieve your dream is by writing down your goal. Once you have done that, you need to break this goal into several small goals. While writing the small goals, you must provide for change. 3 If
45、 you want to achieve your goals, you should be prepared to change them from time to time. This makes your goals really up-to-date. Also, there cannot be just one life goal. There are at least five subjects that you need to address. These are: education, career(职业), family, health and money. 4 For ex
46、ample, there can be no career goals unless they are backed by education goals. Similarly, there can be no family goals unless they are based on practical financial(金融的) goals. None of these goals is taught in college. Yes, there are some families that try to train their kids to think wisely, and plan for their life. 5 They know what they want to get in life.
